The RamDiskDxe driver originally uses a variable-length HII varstore to
retrieve the HII checkbox status of each registered RAM disk.
However, HII does not support the variable-length varstore feature.
Therefore, only the checkbox status for the first 8 RAM disks are tracked
for the following definition of HII varstore structure considering the
alignment:
typedef struct {
UINT64 Size;
UINT8 RamDiskList[0];
} RAM_DISK_CONFIGURATION;
This commit uses the private data of each registered RAM disks to track
the HII checkbox status instead to resolve the issue.

The RamDiskDxe now will report RAM disks with reserved memory type to NFIT
in the ACPI table.
This commit will also make sure that an NVDIMM root device exists in the
\SB scope before reporting any RAM disk to NFIT.
To properly report the NVDIMM root device, one will need to append the
following content in the [Rule.Common.DXE_DRIVER] field in platform FDF
files:
RAW ACPI Optional |.acpi
RAW ASL Optional |.aml

2. Install RAM disk device path and block I/O related protocols on the
RAM disk device handle.
3. Install RAM disk configuration form to HII database
